Fatty liver disease is a growing epidemic, affecting up to 25% of people globally. It occurs when too much fat accumulates in the liver, initially causing no obvious symptoms. While having some fat in your liver is normal, when it starts to make up more than 510% of your liver's weight, it becomes a serious problem. If left unchecked, this excess fat buildup can lead to serious problems like cirrhosis, liver cancer, and complete liver failure.
